Beginning from Lundy Lake, the trail to Oneida Lake skirts the outer edges of Lundy Lake while following an old dirt mining road through a an aspen grove and brush. Soon the trail veers left and ascends through a pine forest and between rugged rocky mountains and ridges where three lakes are stringed together by South Fork Mill Creek: Blue Lake, Crystal Lake, and Oneida Lake. The trail crosses the creek at 2.3 miles. Check with Toiyable and Inyo National Forest for avalanche danger information.
